Hey everyone . If you know me you will know I have never shaved my beard since it first grew . It is a part of me and it is my identity . The cdh charity who do a lot of research in to my little Leonidas birth defect mean more to me than my beard ever could .

he had 3 operations in karinas belly , and a 6 hour operation when he was 5 days old to repair his diaphragm and put all his organs back in the right place. Cdh is a rare birth defect which doesn’t allow the diaphragm to grow . This in turn allows his organs to go into his chest cavity and not allow his lungs and heart to grow properly. His lungs were around 30% the size of average , and he had about 30% chance of survival after birth

So here’s my idea .

£1000 I’ll do a number 2

£2000 I’ll do a goatie

£3000 just wait … I’ll clean it off

join in for June is the annual cdh fund raiser so I thought I’d get in early and get that money raised .

i never thought I would be writing this , but I gotta blame Krishan for this idea . If you have any better beard ideas comment below and I’ll add it on . Thanks for reading
